The place is a money pit, local contractors all provided there own Vaseline too,BEFORE they hand you the bill!. New Well, sewer, furnace,water treatment system.
Just finished puttimg tin on All the buildings except the 30 by 100 machine shed, finished House last week,

Now that the lawyer has decided our plan of action, I can finally get excited about our build again. We had to redo everything the first framer touched. Only one window that was roughed in was right. Had to level and true walkout walls as they were taller than the cement walls. Redid LVL beams and fixed ALL the floor trusses.

This is just one example of the first guys work. First four floor trusses out by 7/16"

This mess was done by a fellow Snow and Mud member.

If you see this truck working on your house, be afraid, very afraid!!!

He has a 403 number, but is from the Edmonton area.

Feel your PAIN the wheels on that truck are basically stollen , Wrote me bad cheque and disappeared .

UTurn i hope your lawyer leaves him with enough money to pay me. Or i'll have to do reward for the rims and tires to get them back.

If it was done by a S&Mer lets call him out on it, if you don't it just lets the next guy that uses him to get screwed by bad workmenship and loss of $$$$. Hope you get that problem resolved and he just stands up and owns it that he screwed up. He possible might have to go to trade school again if he is that bad...
